Las Vegas-Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs did it again. The Chiefs won their third Super Bowl championship in the past five years on Sunday in thrilling fashion at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, and for a third time in the past five years Patrick Mahomes was named the game’s MVP.
Mahomes hit Mecole Hardman on a 3-yard touchdown pass in overtime to vault the Chiefs past the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in Super Bowl LVIII.
With Joe Montana in Allegiant Stadium, watching his beloved Niners, Mahomes stole the show. He had only 9 passing yards after the first quarter but finished with 333 for the game, completing 34 of 46 passes with two touchdowns and one interception. As a fitting way to cap his season, Mahomes also led the Chiefs in rushing with 66 yards on nine runs, including three massive conversions with his legs in the last two minutes of regulation and overtime. Mahomes accounted for 399 of the Chiefs’ 455 yards in Sunday’s game.
